I know it was the preseason, but Cassel played great. Let's hope it can continue on into the regular season.

For me, the really annoying thing is that a bunch of people have the Vikings as the worst team in the NFC. Technically that's the Packers at the moment! :wink:

In my worst case scenario, there are at least five worse teams. The Cowboys may have the worst defense in history this year. Seriously. They were something like 30th last year, and they lost all their best players to free agency or injury.

This is true. However, they have Tony "I can't win a playoff game" Romo. They have what some people think is a good QB so they are better. After all, I believe the Cowboys are ranked 4-5 spots higher on every list.

Man I love laughing at this stuff.

And it continues.

NFL Sunday night football on NBC. Halftime show. They show highlights and scores from earlier games. Who is not shown? The Vikings/Rams. And then they go into a discussion about Romo and the Bears defense. I think one other game was not mentioned as well.

I love the fact that they are dismissing the Vikings.

I noticed the same thing. I was a bit surprised, since I thought the Patterson run was one of the really electrifying plays of the day. Not to mention that the game was the biggest blowout, and the biggest upset wrt the spread.

I don't care right now. Just pointing out the diss. If the Vikings keep winning these guys will be back saying, "I knew it".

One more thing. Watch for this next week if the Vikings beat the Patriots. The talking heads will be asking, "What's wrong with the Patriots" not "What's up with the Vikings".
